CONNECTING THE DES-1008D
This chapter describes how to connect the DES-1008D to your Fast Ethernet network. In each of the following figures, the DES-1008D is shown.
PC to DES-1008D
A PC can be connected to DES-1008D via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) can be connected to any of the 8 ports (1x - 8x).
The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card’s capabilities. If LED indicators are not lit after making a proper connection, check the PC LAN card, the cable and the DES-1008D conditions and connections.
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC toDES-1008D connection:
1.The “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator lights green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
2.The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends upon LAN card capabilities for full duplex or half duplex.
Hub to DES-1008D
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the DES-1008D via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cables. The connection is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the DES- 1008D (MDI-X) ports: 1x - 8x for the DES-1008D.
